Black for a Second has been active in St. Louis since 2006. They have a 6 song demo that is available for free, a split 7" with fellow I Hate Punk Rock Records labelemates, The Wifflers, and have just put the finishing touches on their first full length. BFAS has said that their greatest influences are the bands they have played in and with in the past but have always enjoyed covering Rocket from the Crypt, Jawbreaker, Bricklayer, On Guard, Beck, Dillinger Four and, early on, The Blues Explosion.
